Smart TVs use either a direct, wired Ethernet connection or built-in Wi-Fi to connect to a home network for Internet access. Most models today have built-in Wi-Fi, but check before you buy.People with larger homes should also double-check their Wi-Fi coverage.f the Wi-Fi router is on the second floor and the smart TV is going to be in the basement, the set may not be able to stream video from Netflix or other providers without experiencing hiccups. Furthermore, in our testing, most Wi-Fi receivers in TVs are not as sensitive as those in set-top boxes, such as Roku.
